Planetary movements this month (the basis)
The main planetary movements in December 2026 are as follows. Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, moves from Libra into Scorpio on December 4. Scorpio is the sign opposite Taurus, a placement where the depth of relationships is easily in focus. There is a new Moon in Sagittarius on December 9. In the second half of the month, movements into earth signs continue: the Sun moves into Capricorn on December 22, and Mercury moves into Capricorn on December 26. Capricorn is an earth sign, like Taurus, and supports practical decisions.
Overview
This is a month when the first half is centred on reviewing relationships with people, and the second half on practical arrangements. As Venus moves into opposite Scorpio, the question becomes how to continue relationships with people you can trust, rather than surface-level socialising. The conclusion for this month is, for both relationships and work, not to expand, but to choose again what is worth continuing.
Work
The central task is deciding the line between the work you keep carrying yourself and the work you leave to others. In the first half, time is easily taken by coordinating relationships, so organise the priorities of the cases you are carrying early and they become easier to move. For example, if you set in writing the scope of work to draw a line under within the year, misunderstandings in the handover will decrease. In the second half, the Sun and Mercury move into Capricorn, an earth sign like yours, and the flow values arrangements and track record. Others will see again, more than showy moves, the work you have quietly supported, and it easily leads to a better reputation at this time. Put things you have settled by word of mouth on record on this occasion, and trust will be steady. Sudden consultations also increase at year-end, but whether you have decided priorities in advance changes how calmly you can respond.
Money
This is a month when spending tied to relationships stands out. The central decision is separating spending you continue for socialising from spending needed for work and daily life. Gifts and dinners and other socialising expenses pile up at year-end, but review them by separating what is needed to maintain a relationship with the other person from what you continue by custom. For your provision for life after retirement, the point is to check the figures in their latest state in the calm period of the second half of the month. For contracts involving large payments, the right approach is to check the terms in writing before proceeding.
Health
This is a month when year-end commitments and socialising overlap and rest is easily pushed back. This does not go into diagnosis or treatment of physical problems, but the point to watch this month is to secure rest days in your schedule in advance. In weeks when evening socialising continues, decide the days to keep free first, and strain will not pile up.
Love
This is a low-key section. Share your household's year-end plans early, and decide after hearing the other person's circumstances as well, and misunderstandings will decrease.
